Huh, maybe I am good at drawing.
Alt Text: Cover for a short story called "The Ninth Drift." In the drawing is a FWD model B driving in the snow, with cacti and mountains in the background.

Yeah, I'm sure this is common knowledge up there in Canada. Unfortunately a lot of Americans are not so wise.

I consider the fact that I was able to finish anything at all to be an achievement. 🙃

Sometimes, either that or a fan.

Dad made it late, but safe to class. Buddy was found in town with his truck wrapped around a telephone pole.

This applies to many things in life.

He told me a little story about going to college in Wyoming. He had a 1969 Ford Mustang, and his buddy had a 4x4 Chevy pickup truck. He was from Wyoming, his buddy from Texas. He drove gently and carefully, guiding his sports car to campus with care while his buddy sped past him with the 4x4 on.

My dad has taught me a lot of things, words about manhood, pride, the gods, and women.

His wisest words were, "Just because you have a 4x4, doesn't mean you don't have to be careful in the snow." This is a phrase that has a lot of deeper meaning and has guided me through many things.

What is an important life lesson you have learned? (Bonus points if it is about your writing!)

I have no idea if you mean science or silence but I don't understand science, but science make cool car go fast and also made me not die of preventable diseases so I am a fan.

When do I crave silence? I do not. It makes me anxious.

If you could turn into your OC for 24 hours and could live their life for one day - which one of your OCs would you want to be and why?

History has shown us that if he says he loves the working class but won't tip the waiter, he doesn't love the working class.

Some of you need to stop hanging out with assholes, shitheads, sex pests, and fucknuts just because you have the same political ideology

Enya cannot tell a lie because it just never even occurs to her that lying is something she even can do.

What's your OC's opinion on lying? Would they lie if necessary or are they brutally honest all the time?

Is "getting angry and banging on her truck with hammers" an instrument?

Does your OC play an instrument? 🎵🎼🎸🎹🎷🥁🎻🎺

Social media and it's influencers exist entirely to drive interaction. The way to get the most interaction is to make people angry. The news you like knows this and they lie to you to make you angry to get your interactions. It is not honest

"YOU are not immune to propaganda. Me, on the other hand, have read nineteen eighty four and that means I am uncorruptible and always correct."

Pretty much the entire Internet saw the "you are not immune to propaganda" Garfield image and instead of questioning their own beliefs and news sources, decided to use it to convince themselves that everyone else is not immune to propaganda without even thinking about themselves.

Las Vegas is in Nevada. It and Reno are the only cities of any serious size, if you don't include suburbs.
